# Dropfans API

> Sell drops, manage a creator’s vault, post to the For You feed and read earnings from any software, with one dpfn_ API key per creator.

Dropfans is where creators sell drops — paid media bundles — plus tips and subscriptions. This API lets your software act for a creator, with a key the creator hands you.

## What you can build

- **Sell drops from a CRM or a chat.** Package vault content into a paid drop and hand the buyer a checkout link — in a Telegram conversation, a DM, anywhere a URL goes. [Sell a drop end-to-end](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/guides/sell-a-drop.md).
- **Manage the vault.** Upload images, audio and video, organise folders, tag content. [Upload media](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/guides/upload-media.md).
- **Post to the For You feed.** Text, image and drop posts from a script, a scheduler or an AI agent. [Post to the feed](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/guides/post-to-feed.md).
- **Mirror earnings.** Rebuild the creator’s dashboard numbers — earnings, transactions, payout balance — inside your own product. [Earnings & balance](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/guides/earnings-and-balance.md).

## How it works

- **One key, one creator.** Every request carries `Authorization: Bearer dpfn_…`. A key is bound to one creator account and grants the full surface — there are no scopes. Creators generate keys in the dashboard under [Vault → API Connect](https://www.dropfans.io/dashboard/vault?apiConnect=1).
- **Moderation parity.** Everything created through the API runs exactly the same review as the dashboard composer. You cannot use the API to bypass moderation — a `PENDING` response is normal, not an error.
- **Rate limits by tier.** Personal keys get 60 requests a minute, approved apps 300. Dropfans-operated integrations are exempt. Read the `X-RateLimit-*` headers rather than hardcoding — [Rate limits](https://www.dropfans.io/developers/concepts/rate-limits.md).
